Enchanter charm issues/questions

[Qillz]

I've experienced all of the issues listed above. Also, the charmed pet health bar does not show up in the group window under your health bar like on live, so without targeting pet you cannot tell it's health.

anyone know where the 1-charmed-pet-per-character rule is rooted?

was wondering about, say, an AE charm spell or just the ability to recast charm on new pets ... i didn't see a check within the spell to see if the player already has a charmed pet, but i didn't look as closely as i'm sure you all have

I also noticed no wear off message for charm...as a bard with short duration charms it can be difficult to figure out whats going on sometime or if the charm is still on or not if you are using it as a means of ccing.

I think there is actually a fundamental problem with what's happening when an NPC is charmed (which has symptoms like not bringing up the pet window, for example); the charmed NPC is not acting like a pet except to the extent that it responds to its master being damaged, and to certain pet commands.

For example:
F1 will not target the pet, but F8 will (it should not target friendly targets).

I'm not sure what implementation would look like... especially because I'm no where near the level of getting into the very impressive coding that the entire EQEmu team has put together. But it seems that charms need to actually change the type of creature to a pet of the caster, and communicate that the change has occurred to the client.
